Three William Donaldson Correctional Facility inmates died Saturday, two of them at Birmingham area hospitals.

The Jefferson County Coroner’s Office identified the inmates at Kenneth Gilbert Pitisci, 83, James Lee Stone, 49, and Clayton Wilson, 67.

Chief Deputy Coroner Bill Yates said there was no evidence of trauma or foul play in any of the deaths.

Pitisci was serving a life sentence for a 2017 sodomy conviction out of Baldwin County.

Yates said he was found unresponsive at 5:22 a.m. in the prison infirmary where he was being treated for natural diseases. He was pronounced dead at 5:58 a.m.

Stone died at 6:49 a.m. at UAB Hospital in Birmingham.

He had been taken to the hospital on March 22 for treatment of complications of natural disease, Yates said.

All efforts to locate his family have failed.  At one time, Stone had family living in Jacksonville.

Stone was serving a 40-year sentence for 2004 sodomy and sexual abuse convictions in Etowah County.

Wilson died at 9:07 a.m. at Grandview Medical Center.

He was serving a life sentence for robbery from a 1990 conviction out of Russell County.

Yates said Wilson was taken to Grandview on March 28 for treatment of complications of natural disease.

Authorities have not yet been able to find his family. Yates efforts to reach his listed emergency contacts were unsuccessful.

Family members of Stone and Wilson are asked to call the coroner’s office at 205-930-3603.

So far this year, 13 Donaldson inmates have died. There were 30 inmate deaths in 2023, and 40 in 2022.
